We're looking for new volunteers to join Generation Scotland. We already have over 24,000 people from 7,000 families taking part! Now, we're ready to welcome new families and family members aged 12 and older to join. 

You can be part of Generation Scotland if you are: 

  • Aged 12 years or over
  • Live in Scotland
  • Live in England, Northern Ireland or Wales and are related to a current Generation Scotland volunteer living in Scotland

If you're aged 16 or over you can sign up now! Taking part involves:

  1. Sign up at our online portal:

Join Generation Scotland

  1. Complete a 10-20 minute questionnaire.
  2. We'll send you a saliva sample kit to complete and return. Just pop it in your nearest post box.

As we're a family study, we also encourage you to invite at least one family member to join. This can include any family members from your children and parents to siblings, cousins and aunties and uncles! That will help us understand how genetics and shared living can affect health and well-being.

Feel free to take a look at our volunteer information and consent below, before you click through to our portal to join.
